Force calling base class virtual function?

If I understand correctly, you want it so that whenever the overriden function gets called, the base-class implementation must always get called first. In which case, you could investigate the template pattern . Something like.

As suggested above but applied to your case.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
